Police said Martinez has victimized at least eight people in the past few weeks.

Officers tracked her down Wednesday at Family Dollar, allegedly using stolen credit cards. They followed her to a Wendy’s drive-thru, but people said once she saw the cop car, she rammed it and sped away before driving into a dead end.

In 2012, Martinez was arrested for burglarizing the homes of two elderly people. She pleaded guilty this past year.

As a part of her plea deal, she was released, began probation and had to go to drug rehab.

“Because at that point she was young, and we were hoping that maybe she would change her behavior and if she did, then everybody would be better off because of it,” said Brandenburg.

By October 2013, Martinez vanished and an arrest warrant was issued.

Now that she’s back behind bars, investigators said she’ll likely be there for a while.

“Once again, some of the elderly were involved. I mean, they're easy prey unfortunately, and she was taking advantage of that, so her day will come,” said Brandenburg.

Martinez faces a long list of charges, including aggravated assault on a police officer along with several counts of residential burglary.

Martinez is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center without bond.

The DA said because Martinez violated the terms of her 2012 probation, she’ll have to serve out the rest of that sentence, which is at least eight years.
